Staff Reviews
I took this book on a vacation to Colorado and I could not put it down! I was hoping our flight to Colorado was via France! It is sad, heartbreaking but the book will stay with you for years. I will read it again, something I rarely do.
-Jill
A Little Life is a gut-wrenchingly beautiful novel. It weaves a tale of friendship, heartbreak, coming of age and found family with an impressive narrative style that seemlessly switches between the perspectives of several protagonists.
